Melton Mowbray Building Society Solicitor Panel Assistance:
What are the Melton Mowbray Building Society conveyancing panel arrangements?
Unlike the CML the Building Society Mortgage Instructions deal with this. Section A.12 states ‘In order to act on our behalf your firm or company must be a member of our conveyancing panel provided we are a society that operates one – see specific requirements for details of our arrangements.
The Special Requirements state:
All conveyancers are subject to panel requirements and must be approved onto the Society's conveyancing panel. Please refer to the mortgage completions team if further information is required.
You must also comply with the terms and conditions of your Melton Mowbray Building Society solicitor panel appointment.
Is it possible that Melton Mowbray Building Society will select an alternative firm on the Melton Mowbray Building Society lender panel for a further advance during the lifetime of a mortgage ?
The Building Society Association Mortgage Instructions relevant to a solicitor on the Melton Mowbray Building Society conveyancing panel indicates that when a further advance is required for alterations or improvements to the property we will not normally instruct a member of the Melton Mowbray Building Society conveyancing panel but if you are instructed the appropriate provisions of the BSA mortgage instruction must be adhered to .
Will the fact that my practice subscribes to LENDERmonitor Alerts help in my application to join the Melton Mowbray Building Society solicitor panel?
The criteria to join the Melton Mowbray Building Society conveyancing panel is likely to be fairly detailed and is unlikely to include signing up to LENDERmonitor alerts.
A long standing client of my firm is looking to acquire a semi detached house for
£825k in Newcastle with a mortgage over GBP 415k.
I am on the Melton Mowbray Building Society conveyancing panel but do Melton Mowbray Building Society have a separate approved panel when the advance is above 350k?
We only know of two or three lenders that operate a separate approved solicitors panel where the mortgage advance is over a certain level.
You should nevertheless check directly with Melton Mowbray Building Society. At one stage HSBC would only allow Sole practitioners to act for
them where the mortgage was below £150,000. We are not sure if HSBC
still operate such a condition. In your case it is best to check with
Melton Mowbray Building Society
Are the Council of Licensed Conveyancers taking any action to protect licensed conveyancers from being removed from lender panels?
The CLC has initiated dialogue with lenders and their representative bodies to see whether and how the risks that lenders wish to mitigate could be addressed through the regulatory framework rather than ad hoc arrangements that can differ from lender to lender. It is likely that that the CLC have been in touch with lenders such as Melton Mowbray Building Society as well as the BSA
The Council of Mortgage Lenders Handbook contains conveyancing instructions for a property with a solar panel. Melton Mowbray Building Society do not seem to have any similar obligations via the BSA Mortgage Instructions. Is this right?
The BSA Mortgage Instructions don't
specifically deal with Solar Panels but it would be prudent as
approved solicitors for Melton Mowbray Building Society to raise the issue
with them (as you would if the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook applied). In any event you
need to raise the appropriate questions for your buyer client.
What lender panels do you receive the most questions about?

frequency of questions. The most popular lender panels in terms of
questions are as follows:
